The House of Holland Resort 2013 Collection is Clash Happy

Whimsical details and shape-shifting patterns are prominent in the the House of Holland Resort 2013 collection. The fashion house turns away from its European roots in search of inspiration from carnivals and old school American preps.

The playful pom-pom embellished heels and retro cheerleader-esque uniforms are an ode to middle-school pep rallies. The colorful floral prints and candy-coated color palette are reminiscent of the wayback playback 80s fashions. The designer also appears to be channeling childhood, as the wide vertical stripes bring back memories of the bustling big top. A soaring stilt walker would certainly envy the wide-legged pantsuit featured in this series.
